11/2
Bumper winner who hasn't kicked on as might have been expected over jumps, proving expensive to follow. However, looks competitive on form and makes a fresh start for new yard in a first-time tongue strap (has had wind op).

3/1
Off mark in points at fourth attempt and hinted at ability both starts over hurdles. Opening mark on the stiff side but not without interest switched to a handicap.

Runner-up at Market Rasen on last 2 starts of last season, chasing home decent sorts. However, needs to bounce back after 3 disappointing efforts this term.

Had made a decent start for this yard (formerly with Paul Webber) but let down by jumping last 2 starts and headgear now applied.

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who was back on track when third at Southwell last month. Claims if building on that up in trip.

Still a maiden but becoming well treated and this longer distance could suit. Not taken lightly.

Hinted at promise in novice hurdles but made no real progress switched to handicaps last season. Probably needed the run after 11 months off at Southwell 4 weeks ago.

Shaped better than the distance beaten when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (23.4f) in January but below that level both starts since. However, drying ground could be in her favour back up in trip.

Forecasts

Special John (3/1), Trevor's Lad (7/2), Defence Witness (11/2), Glengolly (13/2), Inchester D'amsyl (7/1), Dexperado (10/1), Lady's Present (12/1), Churchman (14/1), Lizzie Rey (33/1)

Verdict

DEFENCE WITNESS has been expensive to follow but he's had a breathing operation since last seen so is worth another chance starting out for an in-form yard with a tongue strap applied. Lady's Present and Churchman head the dangers.

  1. Defence Witness11/2
  2. Lady's Present12/1
  3. Churchman14/1
